Description
This is a high-quality replica of a circa 1944 production M38 Fallschirmjäger helmet with snow camo and wire. The helmet shell was made by FJ Werke and has the proper CkL factory stamp and 4000 series lot number. The helmet shell shows tool marks around the rim, a small detail seen on these late war production shells. These shells are often mistaken as original examples.
The helmet’s liner has all the details you’d find on an original. The crash pad, and spacers are made from real open cell fabric laminated Buna-S rubber. The leather has the proper railroad track stitches. All thread is waxed linen or cotton. The chinstrap is made with the proper goat skin and has Prym marked snaps. All the correct ink stamps are present.
The helmet was painted the proper shade of field gray textured with aluminum oxide powder. The snow camo was brushed as was the standard practice in the field. The wire basket is the fix-twist variant commonly found in Western Europe during the 1930s and 40s.
The helmet has been heavily aged to look and feel original. You won’t find a more accurate reproduction without a time machine. If you don’t have 15k for an original and need to fill that hole in your collection, this helmet is perfect.
